U.S. stock index futures traded mixed on Wednesday as investors assessed a raft of crucial U.S. economic data while awaiting the release of the Federal Reserve’s favoured inflation metric later in the day, which would be the final full trading day of the Thanksgiving holiday week. The U.S. financial markets will be closed tomorrow and close early on Friday. Earnings reports and forecasts from several big companies, including HP Inc. (HPQ), Dell (DELL), CrowdStrike (CRWD), Nordstrom (JWN), Guess? (GES), Urban Outfitters (URBN) and Workday (WDAY), were also in traders' focus.
